Great edge case, thanks for sharing that one!

I think currently that could only be _encoded_ as a separate opening in the CSV file for loading into the database, which won't work because of my assumption. There simply isn't a way to express it. The relevant fields for the load file are startdate, enddate, opentime, and closetime, the last two being formatted as only "hh:mm", so it's assumed they relate to each single day in the range.

However, I edited a "closes" field value directly in the test database, and to my surprise it rendered sensibly. I would have thought it would be rejected by a validity test I have which checks that the day portion of the start and closing datestamps are the same [1].

I can't justify spending time on this in the near future, since it's a use case we are unlikely to need here. However, I'll log an issue, or you may. Thanks again.

Cheers
Hugh

Hugh,

Thanks for sharing. A quick question. If a library opens past midnight, does that count more than one opening a day or no?

It's a little quicker to enter common period patterns than it used to be in Google Calendar. The output is more accessible, customisable, multilingual, semantic, and hopefully more extensible (iCal etc) than previously.
